A
A broken man moves slowly down the sidewalk
                                E
Humbled by the favours he must seek
 A
From those that he encounters on his walk through misery
          D                                 A
Who are rich enough to hurt just as they please
    A               E               A
If not for love I could be one of these
A
An old man on a park bench stares with envy
                                           E
At a couple with their children on their knees
 A
While across the park a young man is caught by the police
 D                            A
Stealin' for a habit he must feed
        A               E                A
And if not for love I could be one of these
    D                                    A
I could be one of these or so many many more
                                 E
Always at the beck and call of shame
        A                                             D
I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy
        A                  E               A
But if not for you love wouldn't know my name
   A 
A man of squander talents vainly calls on
                                            E
His gift of God now straining through his soul
 A 
While in the crowd before him a jealous friend awaits
       D                            A
The moments that he can no longer please
        A               E               A
And if not for love I could be one of these
    D                                    A
I could be one of these or so many many more
                                 E
Always at the beck and call of shame
        A                                             D
I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy
        A                  E               A
But if not for you love wouldn't know my name
        A               E               E
Yes if not for love I could be one of these
